Overview

The current rail operating contract for Auckland metro services has been in place for a number of years, with Transdev and its predecessors operating the Auckland concession since 2004, which has been extended a number of times by a series of contract renewals. Auckland Transport is now wishing to undertake a tendering process for a new rail operating contract for effect from 2021.

Implementation of the rail procurement is in an early development phase. While substantial thinking has been undertaken and a number of policy positions established, the project is at the early procurement strategy stage. Further work is required to develop the commercial framework, engage with industry, develop the procurement strategy, draft the contract and tender documents, evaluate tender submissions and undertake negotiations.

A Legal Advisor, experienced in complex rail procurements, is required to assist the rail franchise project team in drafting the rail operating contract and associated transaction documents and to provide legal advice and support in relation to tender document preparation, aspects of tender evaluation and due diligence requiring legal input, final negotiations and transition compliance.
